Boehringer Ingelheim Selects ACD/Labs for International Deployment

ACD/Labs, an informatics company that develops and commercializes
solutions in support of chemical and pharmaceutical R&D, today announced
that Boehringer Ingelheim, a leading pharmaceutical company, chose to
deploy ACD/NMR Workbook Suite and ACD/NMR Predictors to NMR
spectroscopists as well as ACD/Spectrus Processor to several hundred
scientists, in Europe and North America.

“It was attractive to our user base to access functionality lacking in
instrument vendor software and static pdf reports such as prediction of
spectra from structure; assignment of peaks to structure; visualization
of data; and interactivity to review and reanalyze data to research
features that were not of interest when the analysis was first done”,
says Paul-James Jones—IT Business Consultant, Boehringer Ingelheim and
Allotrope project representative. “The move to a wider deployment of
ACD/Labs tools provided simplification of our application landscape,
helping us operate more efficiently from an IT perspective.”

An Allotrope Foundation partner, ACD/Labs shares the vision of
standardized analytical data pursued by the Foundation and by Boehringer
Ingelheim. ACD/Labs’ unique expertise in vendor agnostic analytical data
processing and management has made them the ‘go-to’ provider for two
decades.

“The fragmentation and siloing of analytical data is a problem that we
help our customers address by supporting unification in a single,
searchable software environment”, says Gabriela Cimpan—Director of
European Sales, ACD/Labs. “We enable our customer organizations to
extract maximum value from their investment in analytical data by
storing human interpretations of data and helping them retain analytical
intelligence. While this deployment of software is focused on supporting
NMR spectroscopy, we look forward to working with Boehringer Ingelheim
to extend their use of our portfolio to other techniques in the future.”
